Re: Using ldap urls with Java JNDI

["s.c.y" <scy@prodigy.net>]

ldap urls (rfc1959, rfc2255) should work with jndi
searches, PROVIDER_URL's, or probably anyplace else
a (directory) context is specified.

i have working java examples using both jndi "search"
and "PROVIDER_URL" if you need them.

recognizing the absurdity of the example, the following 
should work:
ctx.search("ldap://ldap.bigfoot.com:389/c=US,o=hotmail.com";,
"(cn=laura padilla)", mailAttribute);

as far as i know, a valid server/port for the initial
dircontext is still needed (and proabably a better place
for an extended url) --  making my example more absurd.
